I'm curious to how it will run on the GMS1 without any tune just bolting it on he should pick up some power but it only runs 21psi i think I just think the GMS1 PE table is junk. I'd watch for knock and if none then let her eat!

My intercooler was shipped!! Will update after the tracking # goes live. Guessing it will take forever because of the holiday

Huh...so this is what my internship money is going towards this summer I guess. Doesn't seem like a bad upgrade since I can't take a chance of my tranny going boom. I know it's in the tune, but I just can't blow it up.

Whoever can dyno this setup try and do everyone a favor and do a before and after, or the results are meaningless. I wanted to do it, but the dyno i went to was only setup to do rwd. Havent been back since swapping turbo's.

depending on who tunes it, it can go boom with this turbo. Torque hits hard depending on the tune because these small turbos spool really quick. You could be at full boost by about 3200 and that's where it can bite you. I have to watch what im doing because of that.

so just to keep this thread going a little bit i took the specs that you posted on the k04r and compared it to both the bnr wheel upgrades and the BNR2860 (Like the K04+) is 47.3mm x 60mm. The BNR2871 is 53.02mm x 71mm so the k04r is literally a happy medium haha at 50mm x 65.9mm lol so id expect numbers around 360-380 on pump

Just to quote Bryan Nickell who makes the BNR2871,
"Max power with the 2871 is around 430 FWHP. Its close to 100 WHP gain over stock maxed out. You won't benefit from a billet wheel with that GT28 turbine wheel. I am so suprised that turbine flows over 400 WHP."
and
"That turbine wheel is maxed out with the 2871 cw. The turbine housing has no more meat left for a bigger turbine."
I would think the stock turbine is going to be the limiting factor in this setup, not the housing itself. We should start a HP poll and see who wins a free turbo lol, my money is on 378whp

i think a lot of us would be happy with those kind of numbers especially ones who daily drive their cars like i do lol hands down would def be worth the $500. imma guess 368whp on pump no meth and 381whp with meth
